Annotationen
Two Of Us
ist der Eröffnungstrack des Let It Be Albums. Ihm vorgelagert ist die Ansage John Lennons: «'I Dig A Pigmy' by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids – Phase one, in which Doris gets her oats». Charles Hawtrey And The Def Aids erhalten hier eine ähnliche Rolle wie die Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band im gleichnamigen Album. Dort hat die fiktive Band einen Raum eröffnet, in dem die kollektiven Phantasien einer ganzen Generation Platz hatten, hier ist die Fiktion ein Witz. Zudem ist dieser Witz aus dem Kontext gerissen. Es müsste eigentlich die Einleitung für den Track I Dig A Pony
sein, die Lennon verdreht.

Lyrics
I Dig a Pygmy by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids Phase one, in which Doris gets her oats [Verse 1] Two of us riding nowhere, spending someone's Hard earned pay You and me Sunday driving, not arriving On our way back home [Chorus] We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home [Verse 2] Two of us sending postcards, writing letters On my wall You and me burning matches, lifting latches On our way back home [Chorus] We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home [Bridge] You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead [Verse 3] Two of us wearing raincoats, standing solo In the sun You and me chasing paper, getting nowhere On our way back home [Chorus] We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home [Bridge] You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead [Verse 4] Two of us wearing raincoats, standing solo In the sun You and me chasing paper, getting nowhere On our way back home [Chorus] We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home [Outro] We're going home Better believe it Goodbye
